Early in the brewing process, starches in the malted barley grain are converted into fermentable sugars. The fermentable sugars are then dissolved in water at high temperatures in the lauter tun. The output of this process is known as extract. This is often one of the most important, yet challenging parts of the process. Brewers experience difficulties accurately measuring the amount of extract in each brew leading to product loss, increased raw material costs, and decreased throughput. Fortunately, Emerson has developed highly accurate flow and temperature instrumentation to help address these exact customer pains. Our solutions provide customers with precise concentration measurement and tracking for maximum extract efficiency.
With a compact and light design, the 1600 transmitter delivers ease of integration with a native Ethernet connection and Power over Ethernet. A suite of powerful software solutions provide measurement confidence and valuable process insight in the most challenging applications. The data historian feature captures rich information about process events, fluid quality, and measurement stability - over long and short periods of time.
